******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS****If you haven’t been to Amuse Bouche lately then you haven’t been to Amuse Bouche. That’s because Amuse Bouche was recently sold and has a new Chef and Owner. The new owner might not have trained in France but is an experienced and formally trained chef that serves some French inspired dishes. The former postage stamp sized restaurant has doubled in size and has a fresh new modern decor and an enclosed patio. This is no longer a B.Y.O.B. restaurant as they also offer a bar with seating.

They started us off with an Amuse Bouche of a stuffed nicely cooked mushroom cap and also HOT breads and butter.

We started with the Risotto Fritters with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli.

While not technically perfection the flavor of the risotto balls was spot on and delicious. I didn’t really care that the rice was sort of mushy…the fritters was very tasty and the aioli had a pleasing flavor.

For dinner I tried the Grouper Special.

I received a succulent perfectly prepared Grouper with a delicious Spiced Honey Orange Glaze. The Lemon Citrus Rice was barely touched with flavor and was pretty much neutral rice. The Apple Fennel Slaw did sound great to me but on the plate it seemed like an odd addition….as it was crunchy with little flavor other than fennel…. ……..But getting back to the Grouper……It’s a more difficult unforgiving fish to prepare and was executed to perfection and was delicious and melted in my mouth….I enjoyed the Grouper and the sauce.

My husband tried the Beef Bourguignon.

I hear it had a delicious flavor and was mostly very good with only a few pieces of the beef being very dry. The creamy potatoes were well received.

We thought the Bananas Foster sounded mighty delicious so we gave that a try.

The Crepe and Bananas and all that booze inside were delicious for the sake of reviewing I should just stop here……  Not perfect……I could detect the caramel came from a pot with a burnt bottom and the cream was over sugared……….maybe the next batch will be better.

I note that most people will not be as picky as I am.

Cute little restaurant with offerings you just don’t come across on this side of town..

We thought pricing was very reasonable and our server was efficient.
